July 7, 2010 Epcot

The sixth day started with a good breakfast to greet our friends goodbye. Kaylyn misses Parker the most and Ashlyn talks about Zoe all the time. I'll miss Chase's big blue eyes and Conor's talks. We'll also miss Jennifer and Steve and all the discussions about life and kids (of course we'll still keep in contact). Then we headed over to Epcot to do all the stuff we hadn't done the day before or wanted to do again (Soarin, The Land, Mission Space, Fast Track, The Seas, Spaceship Earth, etc...). When we got back to the hotel, we let Kaylyn and Ashlyn get caricatures done...boy were they expensive. They are currently framed and hanging on their bedroom walls now! Oh, and yes, I finally took pictures with Jason in them ;-)

Our Family

Our Family

My name is Jennifer. I have two beautiful daughters Kaylyn and Ashlyn, and a handsome son. We love to take vacations together as a family. I am a program manager for an aerospace company and I love my job.

About Me

I am from Melbourne, FL and have lived here most of my life. My hobbies are doing crafts and making cards. I have two wonderful daughters and a son who are all very bright and beautiful. I love the Lord and my children with all my heart.

Kaylyn

14 Years Old

Kaylyn

is 14 years old. She was conceived doing IVF and was actually one of the frozen embryos! They told me I was most likely not going to conceive because the embryos had only split into 4 cells, instead of the 8 they like to see when transferring. They put three embryos in and voila...I got one beautiful daughter. She is one of God's gifts to us and we thank him for her every day!

Ashlyn XiangLing

13 Years Old

Ashlyn

is an adorable 13 year old girl who has overcome VSD. She had surgery when she was 2 years old to correct this heart defect and God put it in our heart to reach out to her and take her in to be our daughter. Kaylyn was excited about getting a younger sister (even if it's only 6.5 months younger). We couldn't wait to go to China to get her and bring her home so that we could be her forever family.Since being back, we have learned that she has had other special needs like infundibulum of the right ventricle, a submucous cleft palate, and a cholesteatoma with hearing loss. We take it day by day and we wouldn't want it any other way! She is a joy to everyone who meets her and God has very special plans for her.

Jesse

10 years old

Jesse

is a handsome 10 year old boy that God placed in our lives to reach out and adopt locally. He is a loving, sweet boy who has found his way into our hearts!

5/27/2009 – Another shared list came out and we saw a little girl named Huang Xiang Ling, age 6, on the list. We did not see the list till Saturday 5/30/2009 because we were on our 4th Disney cruise. We emailed GWCA and asked to see Xiang Ling’s file.
